xtracting audio from asf clips...

is there a program which allows me to do tat?

I heard an old version of Virtualdub (1.3??) will allow you to open this type of file. Then could you not just "save wav" like any avi file?

[modzon]

umm....sorry but im not so gd at these things... wad do ya mean by "just "save wav" like any avi file?"?

You need Virtual Dub 1.2!!!! make sure its 1.2. They took out the .asf option in 1.3

open asf in v-dub and save to avi ... or save wav only ..

if you have a problem opening the asf you need asfcut ..

"Fix" the file with AsfCut 2.0 {Also repairs asf files}. Basically ASFCut will fix the segments and will play perfectly in virtual dub, then you can do this, first you should know AsfCut is commandline . It's the only program I know that will fix ASF for virtual Dub or anything else for that matter.

1.download ASFCut to the same directory as you asf file and have the window with you asf file open {easier/faster to open any file from DOS with current win 98 window open, less typing: cd "change directory" commands to type},anyway then goto "Run" in your start menu: type "Command". next type the following commands(without quotes):

"asf -i filename -o renameyourfile" then press enter thats it. Of course filename is where you put you filename and rename is where you make a name for you file and it will output the file with that name. It will take a few minutes. btw, -i means input file -o = output file. ASfcut will rebuild the index so that Virtual Dub will reconstruct it once opened.

2. open the file with virtual Dub ver 1.2x Will say reconstructing index, this means its working opening the video.

3. direct stream copy in "Video" and "Audio menu" {important}

4. save avi or wav {in file menu}.Thats it.

ok BJ_M. got it! thnx... will c if it works......

[modzon]

oh...no! it seems like there's no more asfcut 2.0 to d/l anymore. all the sites r not there anymore! so i tried asfcut 3.0. the weird thing is...i cant use it. everytime i click on "asfcut", the MS DOS appears but disappears veri quickly after tat. how come?

[BJ_M]

notice i mentioned its a command line app -- which means you open a dos window to run it ..

start-> run -> cmd

VirtualDub 1.3c works with asf files.
